GLACÉ NUTS AND FRUITS

Here is a free recipe that Grandma made at Christmas time, every year without fail.  We though that it is that time of year, you may want to try it yourself.

Ingredients

Fruits and nuts (hazel, walnuts, brazils, pineapple peices, banana apple) anything you like

2 Cup granulated sugar

1/8 tsp. cream of tartar

3/4 Cup water

1 tsp. vanilla

Prepare the nuts by shelling them and, if necessary, roasting them, and the fruits by cutting them into small strips or cubes. Mix the sugar and cream of tartar and add the water.

Cook until it will form a very brittle ball in water, will spin hair-like threads when drops of it fall from the spoon.  Remove from the heat and put in a convenient place for the dipping of the fruit and nuts.

Drop these into the hot syrup, one at a time, with a coating fork or an ordinary table fork. When entirely covered with the syrup, remove and drop on greased plates or paper.

You see this is a simple recipe from yesteryear- recipes. Enjoy
